You probably saw this place on the Corner of ashalnd and milwaukee a thousand times before you realized it's a pizza spot. Super cheap and tasty NY style pizza, maybe some of the best in the city? Gotta make sure sometimes that you knock on the window to get service, also try to pay in cash if you can. They stay open pretty late too sometimes so it's a great spot to get late night grub if you're in the area!
The best New York Style pizza in Chi!!! It's my favorite spot in Wicker Park. Super tasty!!!
Love this guy. $5 for two slices, used to include a drink but still such a great deal. Solid pizza and super convenient!
So good! One slice was $2.50 - like how cheap is that?! The guy at the front was lovely and the pizza was so good! Highly recommended
$5 for two NY slices and a soda, after tax, in this economy?! Kung Fu is the spot to go for good cheap quick bites. Literally a hole in the wall, you can easily miss this if you're not looking out for the neon "SLICES" sign in the window. They also serve a single NY slice and soda too for about $3.50. Packaging is sturdy as the slices come in a box. For this price you are not allowed to complain. The food definitely exceeded my expectations. You may not see anybody at the service window but if you wait a few minutes the owner will eventually come. Once he takes your order the slices only take a few minutes to heat up. You can take a look at the soda selection through the window as well.
There's something charming about this place. It's both in plain sight, right across from the Division Blue Line, and also oddly hidden. Look for a neon " Slices" sign next to some scaffolding and you're there. Honestly $5 for 2 slices and a pop is unreal. The best part is they were delicious! The pepperoni was perfectly crispy with little pools delicious oil in the middle. And the pop selection includes RC! As a Chicagoan I can't ask for more. Please note, the man at the order window was the only person in the place so be patient. Each slice was kindly wrapped in aluminum and neatly stacked on a paper plate along with condiments and a fortune cookie to go.
5 bucks for 2 slices and a pop? Thats a helluva good deal. The pizza is good. No it's not going to compete with a $30 artisan pie so don't come here looking for the best pizza in town. But it's much better than you'd expect for the price. We don't have a ton of slice places in the city and a lot of what we do have aren't very good for slices, but this place is up there with the best of them in terms of being a good slice. The set up here is a bit strange though. There's no restaurant, no door to go inside, not even any windows to look through (windows are all taped up with yellow papers) . There's just a small sliding window you walk up and order from. The place is oddly secretive lol.
Walked past this place multiple times and finally decided to check it out, was excited by the promise of two slices and a soda for 5 bucks and was not disappointed in the slightest. I was greeted with two hot slices of pepperoni and cheese, wrapped in tin foil and a cold Sierra Mist. My partner got the same and it came out to a flat 10. We enjoyed one of our slices at the fountain across the street and they were delicious, we couldn't believe the quality at that price. The pizza was still hot after a 45 minute train ride home. Overall I could not recommend this place more. The best bang for your buck I've seen in this city. Go check it out!!!!!
